<v Speaker 1>Is Dolly the new Keith Richards or what? I don't

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>know what's up with that? By the way, Speaking of

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>ancient country songsters, Willie Nelson is touring. He played some

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of He's playing shows with Bob Dylan and the great,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>fabulous fifty years younger, Billy Strings. You think I don't

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>know this. I think I'm going to Portland Saturday.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be staying a block away from where

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Billy Strings and whoever else it

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>is are playing.

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, do I want to Is that what

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to do? I'm not sure if that's what

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to do or not. A good friend pronounced

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it a very enjoyable show. Willie's hanging on Willie Nelson

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and Bob Dylan. Eh, eh, that's what you'd hear a

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of. Yeah, maybe have Joe Biden come out and

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>give a speech in between the sets, right, no kidding.

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>So in the middle of the night, whilst you were asleep,

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Party passed the One Big Beautiful Bill. And

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>as I heard one Republican come out and say, it's

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>about empowering the American people. And whenever a politician says

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>something like that, I think.

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, what'd you just do? Right? Right? As I've

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>said many many times, people don't offer up ridiculous arguments

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>because they're keeping the good arguments fresh for later. It

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>passed by one vote, which is all takes and one

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>guy was saying, please don't shoot me. I have a family,

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Please don't shoot me.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>And then speaker Mike Johnson comes out and says, we

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 2>got to get this tape, Hanson, if we don't have

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>it already.

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>But Mike Johnson comes out and says, this was a

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>blow for conservatism, fiscal conservatism, living within your means.

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Nobody who's analyzed this looks at it that way. Nobody, right,

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>all right, And it does include those salt deductions they

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>updates would lock in a forty thousand dollars cap for

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>state and local deductions. And Fox presented it as and

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>it was also a win for Republicans in those blue

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 2>states who are looking for tax relief.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>She said, with a happy smile on her face. Yeah,

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>there's three of them in the entire house, and all

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the rest of them got screwed the rest of us

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in the whole country. So now don't say that with

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>your smiley face to me. And look, it's all due

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to respect to anybody you know in the business or

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>listening or whatever. I have no interest in mindless cheerleading

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>for yea my side, boo the other side, you know,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're looking for. I apologize humbly and deeply,

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>not like a Jake Tapper apology, I mean a real

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>one that we can't give you what you're looking for,

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know we're gonna, you know, to call them

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>as we see and speak to true Wall Street journalists.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Other Republicans got to win and being able to hold

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>onto their green energy products projects. Oh great, so they

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>balance the salt reductions, which screw everybody in America pretty

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>much but New York, New Jersey, in California. And then

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>you are not a fiscal concern. You are not rhino

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 2>is thrown around too much. You are a rhino if

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>you were holding up your vote because you want to

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>hang onto your fanciful green energy projects just because it

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 2>brings money into your state.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Right you're a Democrat. Yeah. Now, I tell you what.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>The one defense that I would listen to, and I

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>would say, wow, okay, is if Mike Johnson came to

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>me and he said, all right, listen, brother, h here's

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.559
<v Speaker 1>all the polling we do. We spend millions of dollars

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:50.239
<v Speaker 1>on this constantly. We're in flu districts, red districts, swing districts,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and here's the deal. Fiscal conservatism is a loser. We

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>run on it, we lose every election, and we can't

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>do any of the good stuff you like, none of it.

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I would like to hear that set out loud, though

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>it's the truth.

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would like to hear that set out to

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and it it might be one hundred percent correct that

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>you'd say, look, you can't win on fiscal conservatism. This

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>is better than if the Democrats did their big bill,

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>if they had made I.

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Mean, look at the horrors unleashed during the Biden administration crisis.

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>If this, we're pissed off that they're keeping some of

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the drip going of the the Green new scam that

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>was so horrifying, as opposed to you know, a new

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>uh Kamala Harris administration, which would be you know, pouring

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>more trillions of dollars out the door. So I get

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that it's better one hundred percent, but it's still frustrating. Man.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to claim that it's good news. I'm

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna I'm not gonna do that. And good news

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>for those Republicans in blue states. Oh, good lord, that's disgusting.

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>It is discussed. It was that that, all right. I

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to said anybody, What am I thinking? I

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>offend people every single day? What was it?

0:05:58.920 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a look I feel like as a spouse,

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the deal is your wife's gonna keep cheating on you

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>with the neighbor, but she's agreed not to do it

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>in front of you anymore. And I'm supposed to drop

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to my knees and say I have a grades and

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a healthy marriage. Ah no, that's not the case. Good lord,

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the kids, the grandkids were spending their money. Plus, nobody

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>cares about this. I'll stop shouting. I'm giving myself an

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>aneurysm for no good reason. Like there's an extra twelve

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars for the border. That's something or other that

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure is a good idea. Oh there's lots of

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>great stuff. Yeah, I'm sure there's two.

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 2>But how about this, an indoor tanning excise tax that

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>was eliminated in the original bill would be maintained.

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>What about my right to be slightly browner? Huh? What

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>is that? An indoor exercise tax? Some sort of break

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>for tanning places? You know the founding fathers would chuck

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>tanning beds and Boston Harbor. Federal land swaps in Novetta

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and Utah would be eliminated. We'll give you Eli if you'll.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Take whatever that where all the multiple wive people are

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>you take that, We'll take you.

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to impunity particular Utah hamlets that may

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>or may not have alternative lifestyles going on. Good gracious.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So whatever, Then it goes, as Joe pointed out yesterday,

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>it needs to it needs to be pointed out. It

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>goes to the Senate immediately. It's already going to the Senate,

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and the Republicans do have a fifty three forty seven

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>majority there, so they got a little more wiggle room

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to be able to lose.

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to be able to lose some of the holdouts.

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, I just had a weird philosophical thoughts. You

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>want to finish the nuts and bolts, I mean, finish

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the issue with my weird philosophical Yeah, well finish this

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>one sentence. Apparently the fiscal conservative is already leaning on

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>their fiscal concers servative colleagues in the Senate to try

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to you know, nudget further that direction. And we'll see

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>if that happens or not. I would hope. Yeah, a

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>little progress is better than none. But here's my weird

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>philosophical thought. I was about to say something to the

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>effect of, you know, if if you know, back in

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe Reagan's day, maybe uh Bush two, when he was

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>in office, the you know what the Congress was doing

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and the deficits and which are quaint by today's standards.

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Human beings always want to know the future, you know,

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>time machine, crystal ball, whatever. If somebody had troll guards

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>board right right exactly, if somebody had told you twenty

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.719
<v Speaker 1>five years ago how bad it was gonna be, it

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>would have driven you insane. You'd have been like, no,

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that's impossible. The Republicans at both houses and the White House,

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and they make it worse. Why who's in charge? Who

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>got elected? What happened?

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it would make you insane. Ugh, let's start

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the show officially. Then we got plenty of to talk

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 2>about today. There's a bob.

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I was about to say something negative, and we don't

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>want another negative thing. Too much negative. It's thinking through it.

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I got something positive I'll come up

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>with today. Is I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>It is Thursday, May twenty second. We're heading into Memorial

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.920

<v Speaker 1>according to the FCC Rules of Regulations. Here we go

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>at Mark.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 4>The trial of Sean Diddy Combs is happening in New York.

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>They put his former.

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Assistant on the stand, who said a lot of interesting things,

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 4>including that he was given a list of items did

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 4>he required in his hotel rooms? Included his clothes, toiletries,

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 4>a medicine bag, Fiji water, apple sauce, and Jello. Wow, first, Cosby,

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 4>now did he these people at Jello really can't catch

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 4>a bread?

0:09:52.880 --> 0:10:00.839
<v Speaker 1>Camera, boy, that's an obscure reach. We've got a present

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of the audience remembers that Bill Cosby pitched Jello. There's

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>been a whole bunch of stuff in the Didty trial

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 1>over the last several days that we didn't talk about

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because there was other news going on. So we've got

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a big Diddy trial update to catch you up on

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the strangeness that has happened, the various things that we've

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 1>learned over the last several days. So we'll do that

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later.

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 2>That was if you liked the NBA, and I do

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 2>among the best games I've ever seen in my entire life.

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Last night Nick Pacers and overtime just freaking unbelievable.

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Five players with over thirty points, which has never happened before.

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Some defense it was. It was absolutely amazing. Look, well,

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>what was that stat? I gotta find it. I was

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>reading about it. I didn't watch it because I'm not

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>really into the NBA. But the Pacers were down fourteen

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>was three two forty two minutes and twenty seconds left. Yeah,

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>which has happened nine hundred and sometimes in NBA history,

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and the number of teams that have overcome that deficit

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to tie or win is exactly zero until last night. Yeah,

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>first time anybody had ever come back fourteen points with

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>two forty five left, and the shot at the buzzer

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>toscend it to overtime, went in the air like thirty feet.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>It hit the front of the rim, bounces straight up

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in the air. All of Madison Square Garden, the world's

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>most famous arena, all the celebrities, everybody there packed ful

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>wood as the ball went way up in the air, paused,

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>came down right through the net, and everybody went bursts.

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Zirk because it was a game and they went in overtime.

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>It was very exciting. It was like a movie. I

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.839
<v Speaker 1>mean that last shot it was kind of went up

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>slowly and you put the camera on everybody's open mouths

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and somebody chewing popcorn. Okay too much? Does it go

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>in or not? Get to it?

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 5>Boy?

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So we've got Katie's headlines on the way and lots

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 2>of stuff to catch you up on Trump's gonna take

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 2>that plane.

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned George H. W.

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 6>Bush.

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>That's who first had the plane Trump is currently flying in.

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize that our president of the United States

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>is flying around in a forty year old plane.

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 1>What all the money we spend and throw around a

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>president's flying around a forty year old playing with that anyway?

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Much on the way stay right here.

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Among my Memorial Day weekend plans taking the kids to

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the A's game tomorrow night, Oakland A's who play in

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>West Sacramento, California, in a ballpark that holds about twelve

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>thousand people.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome. If you're traveling around the country and get

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a chance to see your favorite team in West Sacramento,

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you should do it. You've never had seats that good

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>for a Major League baseball game. Oh yeah, yeah, check

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>your team's schedule. If they're playing the A's, go to

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>go see them. It's really quite amazing and inexpensive too. Anyway,

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>we've got a huge, action packed show as usual. Let's

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Katie Green.

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Katie starting with Fox News to Israeli embassy staffers shot

0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 3>dead outside of DC event suspect yell free Palestine.

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's one of those freaking jobs, uh, egged on

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>by college campus jobs all across the hundred. Yeah. I'm

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>told by one of our beloved listeners that on our

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>home station, the Network News ran the story and ended

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>with a Palestinian supporter saying, yeah, well, genocide is this

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is what happens when Yeah wow, yes, I'm yeah, I know,

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Second well, along with that from the New York Post,

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 3>anti israel protesters spark chaos outside of Columbia University graduation

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 3>with diploma burning and aggressive chance.

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, chant to wait, morons. I'll tell you this because

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm fired up about this. There's a lot of media

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>these days that's struggling a little bit for revenue. Things

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have changed consolidation blah blah blah. And they've got a

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of like young people who don't get a ton

0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>of supervision by the old hands in the business this

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and say they're just working that they don't work anymore. Well,

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, yeah, they've been uh, you know, relegated to

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the old hand dump heep. And so these these you know,

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Columbia journalism grads just do what they want in America's newsrooms.

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>You think that some of that network news is carefully

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>planned by the best people in the bed. No, no, no,

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it's please, it's a skeleton crew churning out lefty crap

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and I hate it.

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Anti Semitism, including violence, is way too accepted in America

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Agreed from the Washington Post.

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Good Pope Leo mediate between Russia and Ukraine.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump thinks, so he can try. See here's the problem.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Putin has no interest in stopping unless somebody makes him,

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and nobody seems to be interested in making him, and

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody's being honest about it, including Trump. I don't get

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>it at all, Old Pope Leo, God bless him. Literally. Uh,

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>he might as well try to mediate between oil and water.

0:14:58.760 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>What does that even mean?

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Oil and don't mix. I get right right, it's futile effort.

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Back to you. From Daily Mail.

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:12.480

<v Speaker 3>can fly for twelve hours and launch one hundred kamakazi

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 3>UAVs in seconds.

<v Speaker 2>But anyway, do you want to be depressed? You ought

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to be horrendous horror. You ought to be informed. That's

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>how I'll justify it. Yeah, bark art orders at the audience.

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 2>That'll work.

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's maybe trying to focus on the positive. If

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you can find some you let me know and I

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:17.640
<v Speaker 1>will focus all my attention on it, Armstrong and getty.

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.120
<v Speaker 5>According to your study, nearly two in three Americans think

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 5>frugality is an attractive trait.

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And oh yeah, and the.

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Majority of Americans said using a coupon on a date

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 5>is perfectly acceptable. Oh yeah, coupons are hot, y'all. And

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 5>if you're feeling freaky, maybe a groupon maybe all of

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 5>us should take the pottery class.

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, speaking of fiscal conservatism and the Big beautiful Bill,

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 2>and there's no appetite for caring about spending because the

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 2>population doesn't care about the fives on a date and

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 2>she pulls out a cop Hey, I've got a coupon

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 2>for this, save us half. I would think, oh my god,

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 2>this is the greatest woman ever. But if you, as

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.679
<v Speaker 2>the dude, were to do that, I think the reaction,

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I think the reaction should be the same way.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh good, you don't waste money. Fantastic, Wow, Wow I

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>could not disagree more. Terrible, terrible blunder. Katie has a

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 1>different opinion. She's a female.

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah what why is that a terrible thank you? Why

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 3>is that a terrible blunder?

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh? It just shows a cheapness, lack of commitments. I

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>don't care enough about to pay full price. Does it

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you need more or less cheapness? Oh? You're both so wrong.

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.879

<v Speaker 2>embassy staffers there in Washington, d C. Right outside the

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Capitol Jewish Museum. And the guy then walks into the museum.

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 2>People don't realize he's the shooter. He stands around for

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 2>a while, then pulls a kafia out of his pocket,

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>starts waving it around and chanting Free, Free Palestine.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>And then they arrest him and lead him off.

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.199
<v Speaker 2>And I heard some news report where they're trying to

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>decide whether to sue this as.

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>A hate crime or terrorism. I don't understand any of

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 1>those particulars. You murder people in cold blood, the penalty

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 1>should be so high that the particulars of what kind

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of reason it wasn't I don't even get it. I

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>would agree completely, one hundred percent. I understand in theory

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the nature of terrorism is an organized political tool. We

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>need to squelch that as quickly and forcefully as we can.

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 1>But don't we feel that way about all murder? Right?

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Gunning down?

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 2>So there is a lesser penalty for gunning down a

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 2>young couple in love standing on a street corner if

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>you didn't do it for political reasons, that you just

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 2>wanted their.

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Money, that's wrong. AnyWho. John Podohor I can't say his name,

0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>do you say it? Poter Hurtz.

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>He writes for The New York Post, and he runs

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 2>commentary magazine, and I listen to his podcast almost every

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 2>single day. He wrote, what we're going to see over

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.919
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of days is predictable. Jewish institutions are

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>going to scramble to increase security as Jews huddled together

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 2>for comfort, and as the hours and days pass, the

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 2>shooting will be analyzed by the mainstream with an eye

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>toward explaining the root causes of the crime and the

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.680
<v Speaker 2>criminal's motivations, getting to the terrorism and hate crime, which

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 2>is to say, a search for a way to excuse well.

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Hear that the real danger in the wake of this

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>monster sac will be a rise in Islamophobia, rather than

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 2>this event is the culmination of the past eighteen months

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 2>of open antisemitic and jew hating action in the streets

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of major cities and on campuses of our most prestigious

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 2>academic institutions.

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And we Jews will be arming ourselves, says John. Yeah,

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the first outlet I hear or see with an anti

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Muslim bias is also a problem these days. Right, I

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know what, Well, what I would like to do

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.120
<v Speaker 1>would go against my every principle, but yeah, just wait

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 1>for it. It's coming.

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 2>If you're a hate leaning half a nut job anyway,

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and you watch what's being accepted across the country, how

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:06.880
<v Speaker 2>does that including.

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 1>In our elite institutions, right, right? And then excused by

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>most of the media that you watch. All right, Yeah,

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:21.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't this guy's last name? I want to get it right, Rodrigers,

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't it? Yeah, something like that. I was gonna say, Rodriguez. Yeah,

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>so that's going to cause me anti Muslim bias. What

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.280
<v Speaker 1>is his name, Mohammed Rodriguez. Well he was chanting free,

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 1>free Palestine. Well, yeah, I'm anti moron. I have anti

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:44.360
<v Speaker 1>moron bias. Yeah, anti radicalized because you've been fed a

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>grossly oversimplified, one sided, you know, version of events. Yeah,

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got bias against that. Goodness sakes, all right, Michael Toothy,

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>do you have more on that, Jack or are you not?

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into it a little bit more later. It's

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>change a plan Mychael number one some transition music. Then

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 1>we'll use the two Peter Doocey clips sixty one and

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty two plays some transition too too jommering to transition

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:21.399
<v Speaker 1>without it. They'll be back with you just a moment, folks.

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Is this just a saxophone, bass, guitar and drum? I

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think that's just a Is that a trio? There's electric

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.400
<v Speaker 1>piano or organ in there? I guess you're yeah, yeah,

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, I think the keyboard riffing there is

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>play that again, Michael, I think that the keyboard riffing

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>is deceptively simple.

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 2>They're playing in the little grassy area this Memorial Day weekend.

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 2>You got a border's books here, and you got a

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 2>little place here, you get some sort of little thing,

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and then there's a yoburt place and then they're playing.

0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Music right here. Kids are throwing water balloons at each

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>other over there in the distance. Yeah, So, I tell

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you what, there is just no disputing Jake Tapper's credentials

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 1>as a Joe Biden is not senile defender. Over the

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>last several years, a handful of journalist stickeout lights, including

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the Free Beacon, have compiled just exhaustive lists of all

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the times the Tapper not only you know, it was

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a skeptical listener if people claimed this or the other,

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 1>But no, he was so obviously aggressively a defender of

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Biden's mental acuity. It is truly hilarious he's doing what

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>he's doing. We need to name some names before we

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>do that. Let's hear the two Peter Doucey clips Michael.

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 6>One in a time sixty one, there was a fear

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 6>in the room that asking a hard question about the

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 6>president's acuity, about his mental fitness, could mean a loss

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 6>of access. But based on everything that we have learned now,

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 6>nobody had access. It was the president and a handful

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:58.879
<v Speaker 6>of aids that were with him for fifty years up

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.200
<v Speaker 6>in the residence with the first lady and the first son,

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 6>and that was it.

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>And I guess Peter Deucey go ahead.

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna say, I gotta say, if you're a

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>journalist that's afraid to ask a question, a tough question

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 2>because they'll get mad cut off access, then stop being

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.440
<v Speaker 2>a journalist and go do something else.

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what your freaking job is. But if you get

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>shut out completely, you can't do your job at all.

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.919
<v Speaker 1>But then you need to make a noise about that.

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 1>But all journalists, if your job is not to go

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 1>in and ask the hard question about the touchy issue,

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:34.119
<v Speaker 1>what's the point? You have a point. But so Peter

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Doocey couldn't possibly have known about Biden's senility because he

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't have inside sources that talk to him. Later, according

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:43.959
<v Speaker 1>to Jake Taffer, listen to this next clip.

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 6>Something that I do before I go into these White

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 6>House briefings. I kind of try to take a poll

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 6>everywhere I go, at the grocery store, at the airport.

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 6>And the one thing everybody that I met wanted to

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 6>know while I was on the Biden beat was.

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Is he okay?

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 6>I saw this clip, there's saying it's a cheap fake.

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 6>What is going on with this guy?

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>So two hundred and forty million Americans were fully recognizing

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 1>his enility, But to escape Jake Tapper and his crew.

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's fine. One thing that was pointing out yesterday

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I thought was really good is this. So Jake Tapper

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 2>on Megan Kelly the other day we played some of

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:23.679
<v Speaker 2>these clips. He said, the Conservatives had this right and

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>we had it wrong. There's nothing like that anywhere in

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the book.

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So you got shamed into saying that in the last

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. Wow, on this press tour, that's not going

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the way I think you thought it was going to go.

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 1>But you didn't come to that conclusion and put it

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in your book at all. That's significant. Oh, of course

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it is. It absolutely is. But whose posters should be

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>up on America's Post Office wall as the most wanted

0:26:56.600 --> 0:27:00.239
<v Speaker 1>cover uppers of Biden's enility? And it's it's worse than

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that too, obviously, because they were running the country, no joke,

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the great Kim Strassel the Wall Street Journal writing about

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 1>all the die all of the denials, and I didn't

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:13.239
<v Speaker 1>notices and all that. The lucky Democrats are those who

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 1>had limited contact with Biden were excusing their prior claims

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 1>of his good health on situational grounds as in well

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.439
<v Speaker 1>a few times I was with him. He was fine,

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and there are plenty of these, She writes, since original

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:27.360
<v Speaker 1>sin the Taper Book confirms that as time went by,

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Biden's handlers walled off the president. But we are at

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>least now hearing the names of the handlers who worked

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to keep Biden's frailty secret, and anecdotes of other players

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>who were clearly presented evidence that there was a problem,

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:42.640
<v Speaker 1>yet did nothing. Let's take stock number one, Jack, no surprise,

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Jill Biden, the President's wafered all the questions, Joe, you

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:52.120
<v Speaker 1>know all the fact the president's wife was not shy

0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:54.239
<v Speaker 1>about her ambition to occupy the White House for a

0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 1>full eight years. Interviewed by the New Yorkers David Remnick,

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>author Thompson Alex Thompson recounts, I'm gonna put it within

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the family. All presidents run for two terms. The first

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>lady's already plotting what are we going to do in

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the second term, very very early on. Oh your jello,

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and you didn't make boo boo in your pants. Joe, Joe,

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you just such a great job.

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 3>You answered every question you ask.

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 1>He says that missus Biden was viewed as the head

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 1>protector and that Biden aids described her as quote, one

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 1>of the most powerful First Ladies in American history. Thompson

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>reported last summer that bought Missus Biden and her top aid,

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Bernall, went so far as to separate the president

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 1>from the White House residents staff, walking butler's and other

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>household workers from interacting with Joe.

0:28:44.160 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I was just reading the chapter this Bernal guy who

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 2>became one of the most powerful people in the White House,

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and he was close with Jill Biden. If he got

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 2>on the wrong side of him, you were in, you

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 2>were out. You were on the out. So you could

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 2>not cross her.

0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And she was protecting her husband, so he was He

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 1>was a big gatekeeper. And of course Kim Strassel points

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>out that family members are the most likely to see

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>mental decline and recognize it. And so the former First Lady,

0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 1>who even today insists her husband is fine on the

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>view which is just insane, made sure the number of

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>people who could personally witness his behavior was as low

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>as possible. The aides A picture is forming of that

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 1>handful of aids trusted by the Biden family to act

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 1>as intermediaries between Biden and the world to limit his

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 1>exposure and squelch any questions about his health. They include

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 1>bernal Ron Klaine, who was the chief of staff until

0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three, Bruce Reed and Annie Thomasini, deputy chiefs

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>of staff, Mike Donellan and Steve Roschetti advisors especially on

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the campaign. They're the guys who had, as strongly suspected,

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 1>were feeding Biden fake poll numbers to convince him he

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>could win that National security officials Jake Sullivan and Anthony

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Blinken quote from a Biden cabinet secretary and original sin quote,

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen a situation like this before. This is

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the key, folks, right here. This is what turns it

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>into a giant, historic scandal. I've never seen a situation

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>like this before with so few people having so much power,

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>they would make huge economic decisions without calling Treasure Secretary Yellen.

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Evidence is meanwhile surfacing that these aids didn't just hide

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Biden from the public, they hid information from Biden, including

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the reality of how many elected Democrats wanted him out.

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>And then she mentions Kevin O'Connor, Biden's personal physician, who

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 1>repeated over and over again that he does not need

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>a cognitive test. He is great. I see him every day.

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>He's cognitively capable. Listen, he's doing the job.

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I got way more on this examples from the book,

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 2>but we are out of time of when Jill really

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 2>started to flex her muscles and realize she needed to

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 2>take charge.

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's amazing she got away with it. Yep, she

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.640

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're not within one hundred miles of it,

<v Speaker 1>on the way to bunch of other stuff. Stay here.

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 2>We got this text I saw Bob Dylan last month.

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 2>You have to assume they were a fan and they

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:36.840

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 1>we can talk about that in a little bit. Here's

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>your freedom loving quote of today. This is one of

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>my all time favorites. Everybody out I have this tattooed

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 1>right on the back of their hands so they can

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 1>consult it whenever necessary. It is from the Great Friedrich

0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 1>August von Hayek. Emergencies in quotes have always been the

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 1>pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>We haven't done. Emergencies have always been the pretext for

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 1>taking away your rights. We haven't done.

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 2>The Washington Post exclusive that didn't get enough attention this

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 2>week because of all the other news. The facial recognition

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 2>they were doing in New Orleans after that car attack

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 2>killed all those people, that had never been done at

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 2>that level anywhere in the United States, and they did

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 2>it secretly and nobody's talking about it at all, and

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 2>an emergency happened, and they did think something nothing that

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>had never been done in the United States, right, right.

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I remember the big vote in Congress as whether we

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted this. Oh that's right. No, there hasn't been even

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:48.320

<v Speaker 1>just fired up. Way to go, Marina, love it, guys,

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 1>sarcastic screen coming. Oh no, this is from uh Al Nanimus.

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm a narcotics investigator down here on the border, and

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>if I had a dollar for every time I was

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.719
<v Speaker 1>lied to, I would have already comfortably retired. Oh my god, sir,

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea there were seventy five kilos of

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:51.920
<v Speaker 1>coke hidden in my car when I crossed the border.

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:56.239
<v Speaker 1>They all say. But literally everything else I'm seeing would

0:34:56.360 --> 0:35:00.440
<v Speaker 1>lead me to believe that you did know. Hm, maybe,

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 1>just maybe I'm being lied to. Come on, Jake Tapper,

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 1>give me a break. I got more on that. Ezra

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Klein in the New York Times some interesting stuff on that.

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:12.920
<v Speaker 1>He interviewed. Jake Tapper. You know, that's a hell of

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a person to look into it, Ezra Kleine, But so Jed,

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:22.400
<v Speaker 1>here's a thought starter for you, my friend. Picture one

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of those dope smugglers on the border you're talking about,

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 1>who sincerely had convinced himself that there was no coke

0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 1>in his car even though he'd loaded it. That's the

0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Jake Tapper story. Yeah right, no kidding. Let's see, nobody

0:35:44.480 --> 0:35:48.319
<v Speaker 1>elected Elon Musk Hey, big beautiful Jack and Joe. Uh

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe I I haven't seen it yet. Uh where are

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:54.920
<v Speaker 1>all those angry concerned citizens or are yelling about Elon

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:59.359
<v Speaker 1>not being elected when you have undeniable evidence that during

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the Biden president, see, the duly elected president was not

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>running the executive branch at all, He wasn't appointing powerful advisors.

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>The powerful advisors were operating without his knowledge. But you're

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 1>not worried about that, are you?

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:15.959
<v Speaker 2>Another aspect of the story that just is not being

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 2>drilled down enough on it's it's really quite amazing. If

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 2>you miss a segment, get the podcast. We got a

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 2>lot more to come.
